Your challenge will start in the foothills of the Mournes, Co. Down with its striking, rugged scenery. Your specially signed route will bring you along forest trails and hilly tracks, across Carlingford Lough by boat to the coastal charm of the Cooley Peninsula. This varied terrain will also include picturesque country roads and some demanding sections of mountainside.

New developments for TRAILTREKKER 2011

TRAILTREKKER 2011 will include a 50km route alongside the established 100km trail. Both events take place on the weekend of 10-11 September and involve teams of four taking on the challenge together, walking to each checkpoint together to finish line in the shore-side village of Carlingford, Co. Louth.

Team spirit, camarderie and community involvement bring a very special spirit to the event. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to be part of a global phenomenon – there are now16 routes in 14 countries around the world from Hong Kong to Canada, New Zealand to Spain and Australia to Ireland!

Attached is a leaflet in relation to our event. We would be very grateful if you could circulate them amongst your members. If you have any queries about TRAILTREKKER please feel free to contact me by email at trailtrekker@oxfamireland.org by calling my direct line (01) 635 0438
